Dr Daniel Bearup

Daniel received his PhD in mathematical biology from the University of Warwick in 2010. He then moved on to post-doc positions, researching problems in spatial ecology, at the Universities of Leicester, Oldenburg and Sheffield before joining SMSAS in 2017. Daniel plays chess, and other strategy games, competitively and, as a consequence often engages in the “weaponisation” of probability; he also paints, bakes, enjoys classical music, and, increasingly, tries to keep his daughter out of trouble.

Mathematical ecology:

• multiscale problems in control and conservation of populations;
• effects of complex habitat structure on population dynamics;
• interactions between dispersal processes and natural boundaries

Mathematical biology:

• dynamics of metabolic networks
• emergence of antibiotic resistance in communities
• the dynamics of disease spread in heterogeneous populations
